Whose fates doth lie within his palm?
Abenius Boy,,tonius-Ah, fair Alexus, methinks
the signs to portend good.
But yesternight the dog didst howl as he who
Wouldst our glory steal didst ope the door
OF the chamber gubernatorial.
But, Alexius, M heart still family beats
Lest some foul plot doth lie beneath our plans
To break the goblet of our hope. What
Says m noble Smithanius?
Napolioaus Titani1s Snsithaaeius CSmilingl-Ah,
me anxious and uncertain friends,
Ye do me mirth arouse, and tickle with mighty
tick
Each shaking rib within m breast. To me the

At all this dangling fear. Brace up, Alexus,
And Abenlus the same. Ye make m laugh,
So by the dogs, tell ye brace
Alerius- -Methinks, Abenius, that this overjoyful
Doth fill us with false and treachercus hope
Abenia.s-Aye, right thou art. And lest some
Fiendish foe doth steal unto the presence
Of the King, I'll HE me back to speak
Word of choice eulogium for thee
SCENE n-AFTER THE APPOINTMENT.

consider,
It is not strange that you and do stand
Full we'll in the esteem of him whose hand
Doth hold the power to make us great.
For where, me dear Abenius, can Lord or king
Encounter better men than we?
45eaius-True, Alexus, true. Thy form is true
The Roman plan and do know that
None could greater prowess show when it
Doth come to deeds of state.
Alerius- Abenius, m trusty friend, while can
not
Deny the truth of what thou sayst, it
Now becomes M duty true to speak the truth
Of thee. By the shades of Titan, thou dost
Make me proud, when'er gaze upon thy form,
To think that thou and I art friends.
